Does this product allow for recording two microphones simultaneously on windows 7? (basically does it enable "stereo Mix" as a recording device?)

It should but it doesn't. This unit, to be blunt, doesn't work. I bought one and it ended up being a paperweight. It has serious driver issues that AKAI refuses to acknowledge or address. They pretend like nothing is wrong but their support forums are filled with the exact same complaint from too many unhappy customers. Caveat Emptor.

Yes you have 4 channels of input so technically you can have two stereo inputs.

Do some googling on "Virtual Audio Cable" I know there is a way to set VAC as your default device, and then have that application route audio to multiple other outputs. It can cause slight delays in the audio though... :| Blame Microsoft for not implementing simultaneous multiple audio output channels?

It depends, if you use Bluetooth and have a device that can sync to multiple at once then yes. That being said I haven't actually attempted that myself sense I only have one Bluetooth speaker device. there is also probably a way to rig it to use actual cords, but that depends on your system. There are no audio out options on this (I haven't really tried to hook another stereo up to it sense I only own this one) but I only see inputs and the one usb spot that can record. I hope that helped at least a little.

Should not have to... windows supports having multiple sound cards... you'll just need to select your output device in Sound Properties in control panel.

Yes, actually up to 5 mics at the same time, plus additional input (like a CD player, etc.) I use it for Podcasts and group recordings in a studio environment and I love it! Small size and lots of ability for the price.

I concur with Travis F. You can synch different microphones to the base (see manual) but only one at a time.

Only one output for both microphones. It does have a volume control for each.

This mixer can send output from your two wireless microphones (assuming they have standard input capabilities) into your PC mixed to your preference; that information then becomes "input" to your PC after which the output to the amp/speaker setup becomes your PC's responsibility moreso than the mixer. The short answer is that it should if you know how to handle your PC as a middleman. Hope this helps~

I don't think it can record stereo. The built-in mic is only one channel and the line-in for instruments is mono also. I think you may want the Duet instead of the One, but you can always imitate stereo by duplicating a channel and automating effects too if you want to save money and get around that limitation :)

Hi Dawn..I'm not sure I understand... If you run left channel to left "03" input and right channel too right input of "03" you can record to "03" but seems there should be a cheaper device for recording 2 tracks out there? paul

You can only use one microphone at a time, yes you can edit on Audacity or Adobe Audition CS/CC as WAV or MP3.

I think the limitations would only exist in audacity, if they exist at all. I use mine to simultaneously record using 4 drum mics, and it works like a charm. Good luck on the podcast!

It depends on two things - 1: what kind of mics you have and 2: if you need all of the audio recorded into separate channels on the computer. If you have 6 mics that are XLR or need phantom power, then this will not suit your needs - this can only power 4 XLR mics. (If you have what are called dynamic mics with 1/4" plugs - or self powered condensor mics that can use 1/4" jacks - then you are fine). For the second part (about separate channels) it really depends what you want to be able to do. The USB part of this mixer records just two separate channels into the computer - the same as the left and right main output of the mixer. So if you were to use 6 mics you would have them all recorded, but all together. (Thus, if someone was too quiet, you could not just turn them up after the fact.) You can use the panning to get two completely separate tracks, but that's clearly not enough for what you're trying to do. If you want to record all 6 tracks independently you will need something more expensive. I hope this helps!

if u r using it for a mic u can use 1 other wise if u use a computer u will need to use a mic mixer and use 2

I can tell you that it works well with my Presonus vsl, however, there are dropouts when I record to capture. Could be my laptop, hp with windows 7, but, I doubt it. Hope this helps

Yes, each of the eight microphone inputs has its own switchable phantom power supply. It works with Windows 7 and 8, but you need to ensure you have the correct drivers.

It works only with one. if you have two mics hooked on each it XLR will be the one active (the TRS signal is so low that is kind of useless). I guess the Y would also compromise the quality signal too. Better look for another solution that supports 2 mics
